Some interesting pitching to watch today that's for sure. Hope Shark gets to pitch too.

[Skyballer]

Should be nice to see Papelbon, any scouting on him Raisin?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

here's a really old report

[Flames24Rulz]

Yeah, I'll say. Mateo, Holliman, Atkins, Papelbon, and maybe even Samardzija. That sounds pretty good :)

[Guest]

Mid 80s FB, plus offspeed pitch (I believe it's a slider), good command, has good deception.

[Balsa]

Holliman!

Thanks, should be nice to see.

Any video of him eg youtube?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Hoping for a good start from Holliman.

[Guest]

Already 2 other FSL doubleheaders have been rained out and Daytona is being delayed by rain.

 

ETA: Looks like they've started after about a 1.5 hour delay.

[Flames24Rulz]

Rough 1st for Atkins: 3 hits, 5 runs, 1 K/2 BB's, 1 HR given up. 5-0 Palm Beach after 1.

[Guest]

Peoria's leadoff hitter is posting the always great .136/.161/.153 line.

[Flames24Rulz]

Daytona loses the opener of the twinbill, 7-2. Atkins only lasted 3 innings and gave up 6 hits, 6 runs, 2 K's/3 BB's, and gave up a homer. Matt Camp went 3/3 with a double and Clevenger and Dope were each 1/3. Not much else on the offensive end for the D-Cubs.

 

Peoria down 1-0 in the bottom of the 6th. Good outing for Papelbon so far: 5 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 2 K's/1 BB. The Chiefs only have one hit thru 6; a single by LeClerc (the batter that was sporting that nice line that Raisin mentioned).

 

Felix has a single for Iowa and that game is scoreless thru 1 and 1/2.

 

Tennessee scoreless in the 2nd as well.

[Skyballer]

IIRC, Papelbon did well his last(1st) start.

[Guest]

Samardzija does indeed get the start in game two.

[Skyballer]

Samardzija does indeed get the start in game two.

That could be trouble.

[Flames24Rulz]

Peoria loses 3-1. Papelbon's final line: 5+, 6 hits, 3 runs, 2 K's/1 BB. Wellington Castillo had an RBI triple and that was the only other hit for the Chiefs tonight, besides Leclerc's single.

[CUBZ99]

Shark having a good start so far

 

4 IP only 1 H 1K

[Flames24Rulz]

Shark finished with a good effort: 6 IP, 3 hits, 2 runs, 2 K's/1 BB, 1 HR allowed. He had no run support, however and Daytona lost 2-0. Rea and Harvey were each 1/3 and Matulia was 1/1. Dope was 0/3 with a strikeout.

 

Iowa lost 6-1. So-so outing for Mateo tonight: 6 innings, 7 hits, 3 runs, 2 K's/2 BB's. Piggy and Cotts each threw a scoreless inning and Wells gave up two runs in the 9th. Felix was 2/4 with a double. Soto and Fox were each 1/4 with a double apiece. EPatt was 0/4.

 

Tennessee up 3-2 in the 9th. Holliman went 6, allowing 5 hits, 2 runs, 6 K's/1 BB, and gave up a homer. Casey McGehee has a 2-run homer. Colvin is not in the lineup tonight.

Tennessee up 3-2 in the 9th. Holliman went 6, allowing 5 hits, 2 runs, 6 K's/1 BB, and gave up a homer. Casey McGehee has a 2-run homer. Colvin is not in the lineup tonight.

 

I wonder what is going on. Last night he hit a HR then was taken out by Listash. At the end of the game I didn't see him come out of the dugout.

 

He didn't look hurt running around the bases.

[Flames24Rulz]

Tennessee wins 3-2. Roquet picks up the 2 inning save.

 

Boise down 3-1. Hempy allowed 3 unearned runs to score in the 3rd. Wyatt has an RBI single for Boise.

[rabidawg900]

What a crappy day offensively for everybody. Nothing to write home about at all.

 

Let's hope Boise can get some fireworks going.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, Boise couldn't get it done tonight.

 

Speedsters on Boise:

SS Dylan Johnston - 1 for 4, R, 2 SO, SB (4th in 38 G, 12th overall)

2B Tony Thomas - 2 for 3, BB, R, SB (8th in 13 G)

 

Best Pitching of the day:

 

Boise's Al Alburquerque - 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 5 Ks (He's just been mowing people down lately)

Daytona's RHP Jeff Samardzija - 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, BB, 2 Ks, HR

Ground outs-fly outs: Samardzija 9-7

Tenn's RHP Mark Holliman - 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, BB, 6 Ks, HR

[Brian]

Is Papelbon going to get a shot as a starter now, or is he just filling in until someone else comes along?

[TruffleShuffle]

Soto is 2nd in the PCL in BA, OBP and SLG, and he's first in OPS. And he's a catcher. Too bad we're so loaded at that position.
